Some time ngo divorce proceedings
were begun by Maggie Haylcs against
her husband , Abner Saylcs. Saturday
the ciiho came up for hearing before
Judge Carson and the divorce was
granted as prayed.
To-day will witness the completion of
the court house and the structure will
then be turned over to the county. Ar
rangements for its dedication are being
arranged , but the full details , date ,
etc. , arc not fully bottled.
The police were informed last night
that a party of Omaha toughs intended
to raibo a row at the Danish church ,
corner of Avenue A and Ninth street ,
Olllecrs were sent to the church but the
row failed to come oil.
The Presbyterian church folks have
about decided that they will go ahead
this spring with the completion of the
addition to their church. A portion of
the money is already bccured , and the
addition will bo made to complete the
building in accordance with the original
plans.
Ono of the worst mudpuddles in the
city is right in ono of the most promi
nent places , Broadway and Pearl street.
The paving has bottled , mud has accu
mulated , and there the water stands ,
making the passage across the street
rather dangerous wilding.
A man named Shekel , for several days
has .been hanging around a bawdy
house on Pierce htreot , and Saturday
night stole a revolver from the proprie
tress of the place. She , however , re
covered the weapon , but last 7iight in
formed the police and Shekel was
run in.
The attention of the sidewalk inspec
tor , or some other ollicial , in called to a
place in front of Motcalf Bros. ' store
where the brick walk is torn up for a
considerable space. That , and the pile
of brick near it , renders locomotion un
safe , especially at night. There are a
number of other places upon the prin
cipal business streets to which timely
attention should bo given in order to se
cure personal safety and immunity from
litigation.
Yesterday afternoon the body of Mrs.
Mary Juno Van Pelt was laid to rest be
side that ol her husband in Fail-view
cemetery. The attending ceremonies
occurred at 2:80 : o'clock at the homo of
her daughter , Mrs. I. A. Miller , 60-3
Second avenuo. A largo number of
those who had known and loved the de
ceased during her life attended the ser
vices. Dr. Phelps of the Presbyterian
church olllciated.
If the sickness in Judge Thornoll's
family prevents his return from Sidney
this morning , Judge Loofbourpw will
probably preside in the district court
nnd dispose of such matters as cannot ho
delayed. The ColTman cato is sot for
to-morrow , and Judge Loofbourow is to
try that , but the case of Richardson vs.
Scott will hardly bo Ilnishcd before the
middle of the week , and that takes pro
cedure of the ColTimut ciibo.
The 1'Yeo Lance , of Atlantic , claims
to voice the feeling of Cass county in
saying : "Pottawattamio , avaricious
though she always is , cannot have the
check to ask the congressional candi
date this year. That Cass county will
endeavor to scoop in the congressional
plum is an established fact. Among the
many who have been mentioned we
note : Dr. Davis , of Lewis : William
Waddell , Hon. L. Young , Hon. Silas
Wilson , C. P. Loofbourow , John W.
Scott , nnd John H. Wood , of Atlantic. "
Yesterday morning at 2 o'clock Mrs.
W. H. Woods died at her home after a
short illness. Yesterday afternoon the
remains were taken to Scdalia , Mo , , for
interment. It is there her parents live
and but a few days ago she completed a
visit with them and returned homo. It
is a sorrowful homo-going for the
stricken husband , who accompanied the
remains. Mr. Woods is foreman of the
Northwestern round hoviho. All friends
will sympatnixo with him in his afllic-
tion.

No pardon has yet boon granted
Broadwell , although inlluential friends
are laboring earnestly with the gov-

hero within the next week Broadwell
will have to go to the penitentiary.
There arc several hero awaitintr sen
tence , and when the lii > t batch is started
over the road lie will bo among them
unless a pardon roaches hero. A full
Btntcmont of the case , with verifying
affidavits , is being prepared , but it will
be , several days before it can bo put in
the hands of the governor.

The Motor Iilne.
There nro some quiet moves going on
preparatory to the opening of the motor
line this spring , nntl the runownl of the
enthusiastic rush for Lnko Mnniiwn.
The chief cnuso of delay lust season was
the lack of crossings at the railway
tracks. It scorns pretty evident that the
motor line will not bo allowed to cro 3
the trackH nt , Ninth street , without a
long and bluer light with the railways.
It IB believed that the railwaycom
panies will consent to the line crossing
tholr tracks at Seventh or Kighth
streets , if suitajilo crossings arc put in.
It seems that this matter might bo
amicably arranged at once , so that
everything could bo put in readiness for
an actual opening of the line as BOOH as
the weather is such as to make it de
sirable. If the adjustment of these
difficulties is put olT until the weather is
favorable for doing the work , delays
may arise , as lust year , which would
prevent the public from having the
needed accommodations until too late in
the season to bo of any use.
The citizens generally express them
selves as ready to give such help as
they can to the owners of the motor
line if they show an honest disposition
to help themselves and do the best they
can. The old owners and managers ex
hausted public patience by their ro-
petitod promises and prolonged procras
tinations. Mr. Reed is very reticent
and the public is not bored by any boasts
or flattering promises. Ho seems in
tent on his own business , and those who
know him best say ho has both means
nnd pluck. As the time draws nearer
for the expected opening of the line
there is naturally some anxiety and
much curiosity. The public scorns to
want some promises , and yet has no
longer any faith in promises , especially
when they concern the motor line.

GhrlHt More Thnii aMnii.
At the Presbyterian church yesterday
morning there was a largo congrega
tion. The-attendance at the Sanday
service is increasing rapidly , and this is
largely duo to the excellence of the ser
mons delivered by the pastor , Rov. Dr.
Pticlps. His ripeness of scholarship ,
clearness of statement , vividness of il
lustration and his dashes of eloquence
make him a strong pulpit orator. Yes
terday lie took as his text Paul's words
to the Colossians : "For in him dwoll-
cth all the fullness of the godhead bed
ily. " From these words the speaker
Bought to carry the thoughts of his hear
ers , alon0r easy lines of reasoning , to a
rcalixation of how high u conception
Paul had of Christ. Several strong
suggestions were made from the study
of the original words , and their peculiar
significance , when thus used to the
Colossians , whose belief was pnculiar.
The preacher alluded to the fact
that many believed that Christ was a
grand man , a moral hero , a wonderful
reformer , but this conception ho de
nounced as nonsensical , when com
pared with the conception which Paul
had. If this low estimate of Christ's
character was intended , the divine pen
went hiully astray. The words meant
more than this , much more.
There were many gnostics among the
Colossians. They believed that God
was so great that ho had nothing to do
with this earth. There was such tin infinite -
finite distance between God and man ,
that humanity could not reach up to the
divine. Between the two was the con
dition in which there wore emanations
from the deity , and these were called
ueoiiB. They gave Christ the jwsition
of ono-of these aeons , and thus sought
to combine Christianity with gnosti
cism. Paul , as scon by the original ,
clearly touched upon this belief , and
gathering up nil the virtues manifested
in these aeons , declared that Christ'not
only embraced all these , but still more ,
the fullness of God himself. It was u
grand climax , u wonderful conception.
Christ could not bo deified by man.
There were saints ; there wore wonder
ful men who had been canonized , but no
worship on the part of man made Christ
God. Ho was God , whether man wor
shiped him or not.
The fullness of the godhead was in
him bodily. 'This meant much. Ono
might build a mighty cauldron as largo
ns the Roman amphitheater and might
till it from the sea. It would have the
fullness of the ecu , but it would not have
all the sea by any means. It would not
be the fullness of the sen bodily. No ono
man , however grand , could contain God.
Ho might bo tilled with God's spiritbut
Christ contained the fullness of the god
head bodily. Omnipotoncoomniscionco ,
every power and attribute of God , was
contained in Him in their fullness.
This conception was beyond human
n
Comprehension. Whocould answer the
question : "What is God ? " The scion-
tlbt , the philosopher , the bible student ,
the angels themselves , veiling their
faces in his presence , could not put the
answer in language : they could but tell
eomo of the attributes , yet all of God
was in Christ.
Christ was also human. When the
birthday anniversary of Stephenson , the
great Kngllsh engineer , was celebrated ,
there was a great crowd of pcoplo.
Among the pageantry and brilliant pro
cessions there appeared a little band of
peasants , humble in mien , poor In
purse , who wore given the most prominent -
nont place in the great gathering.
These were from the quay where Stoph-
oiihon was born , and their cheap little
banner bore simply the words : "Ho
Was One of Us. " So when beyond the
river , when all should pnt > s the judg
ment sent before the great white throne
amid all the golden robea and brilliant
crowns , those from earth would bo
given a glorious welcome , for "Ho was
ono of us. " *

Re Tor in In Wagonx Needed.
The BUK will once more call atten
tion to the fact that it is n flnablo offense -
fonso to haul dirt upon the paved streets
in illy constructed wagon boxes HO that
the dirt falls out. At the hut meeting
of the board of trade that body voiced
the wishes of the cltbeiifi nt Inrgo in-
domandirig n rigid enforcement of the
law in this matter. Notwithstanding
all this but little attention Is paid by
either the dirt haulers or the police.
On Saturday last the reporter inspected
a nunibor of wagons that nra being used
upon Eighth and Ninth avenues and
Broadway. Out of twenty-three wagons
noticed , but six of thorn were con
structed with any regard to comnlinnco
with the ordinance. Several of them
wcro perfect sieves , the dirt falling
along the entire route. It is true there
nro occasional arrests , but they are not
frequent enough to opeiato ns n check
upon the practice. It is claimed that
the ordinance docs not fully cover the
ground to bo reached. That it applies
to the end boards of the wagons and not
to the wagons themselves. If this bo
the case the ordinance should bo
amended. The reasons why are too
many and obvious to require detail
here. Cleanliness , health , municipal
respectability are Involved. It is earn
estly hoped that the city council will
take such action , and that at once , ns
shall effectually stop this practice.

Thieves Get In Their Work.
Hardly a day passes without the re
ported loss of homo article taken from
the barns , yards , coal houses and houses
throughout the city. Evidently the
sneak thief is getting in his work in
good shnpo. Ono man complains of the
loss of his soft coal , which disappears
steadily night after night. Another
reports that his coal shed was broken
open and quite a quantity of hard coal
nnd other small articles wcro stolon.
Still another is the case of a lady who
put a full strip of carpet upon the back
jorch ) to cleanse it. After an hour she
looked for it but it was gone. Some
measures should bo adopted to prevent
these occurrences. The pcoplo of the
city ask , and they have a right to de
mand. protection to their property.
This s the purpose of the police system.
Possibly the force is not largo c'nougli
to effect this purpose. Whatever is
necessary to bo done to secure the de
sired end , should bo done without do-

Try I us the Fire Imils.
Since the completion of the Upper
Broadway engine house Chief Temple-
ton has had a desire to see a practical
demonstration of the workings of the
system. As there have been no fires
lately this desire has not been gratified.
Ho determined to test it anyway , and
on Saturday night , while the boys were
all in bed asleep , ho quietly slipped into
the house nnd struck the gong. Before
the second tap some of the boys came
sliding down the polo ready for busi
ness and before the alarm was com
pleted all the boys were in their places ,
the team was hitched and all was in
readiness for n start. ' Up to this time
the chief had kept himself hid , and the
boys supposed the alarm to bo a genuine
one. They did not make the run , for
the chief called to them to stop. Al
though no record was made of the time
taken to make this Might start , the chief
says it was remarkably fast nnd ho is
fully satisfied witli the eybtem and his
men.

Oil City Letter : It hn cost ? 60,000,00 , : )
to pay the storage and 'cUntylng charges
on the stock BUICO Jrtihiifry 1,1881 , or
very nearly twice what the entire
amount of oil on hand would bring if
sold at present prices. The annual lo.-s
to oil speculators on tho1 fluctuations of
the market has been aiOWK,000 ) , or n
tntnl of $70,000,000 since Jan. 1 , 1881.
Tliis estimate of the annual loss may
seem larco , but promlnontbrokcrssay it
is not large enough. One broker said his
customers alone lost $ 'i000'000 ; in 1882
and $1/100,000 in 1884. It has taken
about $21,000,000 , to nny the brokers'
commissions since 1881 , making u total
of $141,000,000 , which loss has been car
ried by speculators in bo.vcn years. Is
it any wonder that most of thorn have
lost nionoy'r1 If a man' is going to take a
llyor in ol'l ho-had bettor take it on the
producing side of the business. Few
men have gone into producing oil but
have made money , provided they con
ducted tholr business in a legitimate
manner nnd did not try to capture the
whole world.
Since 1859 there have been drilled
abouf7,000 / wells nt a total cost of $200-
000,000 , These wells have produced
: ioO,000.000 barrels of oil. which have
been Hold for $576,000,000 , leaving a not
profit of $375.000,000. The three largest
companies engaged in the oil business
nro the Forest Oil company , the An
chor , and the Union companies. All
these pay good dividends , the Forest
paying 12 per cent a year.
Oil producers are divided into two
clasbcs ; ono is the daring wildcatter ,
who , going far from other fields , leases
huge tracts of land nnd tests them by
drilling several wolls. If ho is lucky
enough to strike n good well his fortune
is made , The other class , as conservative
vative as the wildcatter is reckless , go
about the thing in a business-like man
ner and buy property where it has been
proved that oil exists in paying quanti
ties. They have the business down so
fine that they can toll you almost to a
week how long it will take to pay for
their property with oil at a certain
price.
There are any number of men who ,
boginninc with a few hundred dollftrs ,
have made $50.000 , $100,000 nnd $200,000
in the last few years. The oil fields of
western Pennsylvania are the richest in
'
the world , and'thcro is more money in
oil producing than there is in the
United SUites mint.

Clever Parisian Swindler.
A gang of clever swindlers have iust
been captured at Pari . 'i ' The loader ,
ono Collet , used to buy out business es
tablishments nnd manage to get away
with the goods and custom without pay
ing anything for them. Ho gave satis
factory references upon members of the
gang , who routed ofllccs for no other
purpose. He agreed to pay half cash ,
whichby Paribian uspngemcans cloven
days after publication of the legal an
nouncement of the snlo nnd transfer.
These eleven days of actual possession
Collet employed in learning the work
ings of the business ; that is , ho sold out
as much of the stock as ho could nnd
made new purchubes to replenish the
stock , which he sold again at any price
he could obtain. On the eleventh day ,
when the former proprietor came for his
money , he was given nn order on Col-
lot's moneyed agent , whom ho had to
look up in a saloon in Belleville ,
the most disreputable buburb
of Paris. The ngent pro
fessed to have been left without
funds ; Collet maintained it was a mistake -
take and produced a pass-book showing
n deposit of sulllcicnt size. In that way
the creditor was sent to nnd fro for days
until ho got oxaspercd nnd threatened
legal proceedings. "All right , " said
Collet , "I shnll await your summons. "
And after that ho declined paying , but
insisted on waiting to bo summoned.
The suit required not less than two
months , during which Inrge quantities
of goods were bought nnd never paid for ,
but sold for cash at nny price. On the
day preceding the granting of the war-
runt of execution Collet sold out his
store to ono of his accomplices , whom
the former proprietor was now compelled
to sue again. In spite of all the warn
ings issued by the police , Collet con
tinued to find ready victims all the time ,
and could not have boon stopped but
for the fact that ho forged bills of ex
change and was imprisoned on that
charge. A search of his dwelling on
Duris street disclosed immense heaps of
pawn-tickets for goods from any number
of stores he hnd bought and letters
showing that he had been soiling forged
bills to a number of provincial cities ,
amounting in ono case to upward of'$10-
000.

Talked With Her Dead Husband.
A special to the NovV York World
from North Adnms , , Mass. , says :
"Mother is dead ; come nt once , " was the
message telegraphed by * Doxtcr M.
Bishop , of Rendsboro , Yt. , a few days
ago. The message hnd to bo contra
dicted , for Mrs. Lois M. Bishop , aged
eighty-six , had not died. After lying
unconscious for hours , she revived nnd
is npparontly restored to her foi-mor
health. Mrs. Bishop says that while
she was unconscious she heard a voice
wiy , "Mother , " nnd she recognized it as
the voice of her oldebt bon , Franklin
Sylvester , who died fifty years ago. She
also recognized the voice of her hus
band , who died thirty'tivo years ago.
Ho asked her what she wanted , and if
she was coming to him. nnd she replied ,
"Yes , William , I have been in great
nffliction. "
After having seen and talked with
her dead husband and bon , the old lady
Hays she doesn't want to live nny longer ,
but wants to go to them. She has no
doubt thtil it was hu'uveu where th y
we're , with nil its glories nnd bright
ness. Just before she wns laid on her
bed her hands became ( HIrpin nnd the
coloring crct ) nearly up to her wrists ,
and then nearly the whole length of
her arms. Hqr feet became icy cold
and the same purple coloring began to
show in the body. While this dit-color-
ntlon was taking place Mrs. Bishop
called each of her three daughters , her
son , Dexter , her win-in-law , Truman
Grecdslet , and her ton grand children
and gnvo them a fnrowoll message.
Soon after she was dead to all nppcnr-
nnces , and the fact of her death wns
communicated to the neighbors. The
story of her coming to life reached the
village of Rcadhboro , nnd curiosity-
seekers arc coming in force to boo hor.

Rntn War.
St. Paul Glebe : A railroad cut-rato
war is something like a bear sucking
his paw for subsistanco during the win
ter season. If bruin is able to got out
nt all with the opening of spring ho
comes out in a terribly emaciated con
dition. A cut-rato war is of no boncllt
to shippers and terribly damaging to
the railroad companies. Shippers are
not substantially benefited by the cut
rates , because there is no certainty of
their continuance , and men with busi
ness instincts do not buso their opera
tions upon uncertain conditions. The
railroads not only lo o money , but they
demoralize the transportation business
to such an extent that it takes months
after the war is over to get their affairs
straightened out again. Why men with
the business qualifications that rail
road managers are supposed to pos
sess should over adopt such unbusiness
like methods to meet competition is ono
of the inexplaiunblo mysteries of the
railroad problem. They do it , never
theless , and it is such a frequent occur
rence Mint the public mind is beinp1 im
pressed with the belief that the opera
tion of the inter-state commerce law
will have to bp extended bo that in the
regulation of inter-state trnflle a mini
mum rate will have to be fixed ns well
ns a maximum. It will come to that
sooner or later. The public interest
will require it , to say nothing of the
protection it will afford to the i-ailroad-
business of the country. The peonlo
are only interested in securing fail-
rates. It is not to tho-public interest
that the the transportation of the coun
try shall bo done on a losing scale.
\Vhile it is desirable that the public
shall bo protected against extortionate
rates , it is equally desirable that the
transportation busincbs shall bo done at
compensating rates. There is always n
happy medium in everything , and if the
railroads do not strike of their own ac
cord , they will have to bo legislated
into it.

OnHtroiininlu Notes.
Henry Guy Carleton in Now York
World : Terrajiin bhooting in Chet > a-
pcako bay is a noble and exciting pas
time. The terrapin burrow in the mud
and the sportsman digs thorn out.with a
long-handled shovc , and either im
merses them in a private stow or sells
them for $00 a dozen to persons not
gifted with much intelligence. It is
biiid to be very difficult to prepare ter
rapin for the table. The chief object is
to completely drown the natural fhivor
of the reptile in n rich nnd fruity wine ,
nnd when this is successfully done the
cook is ut once entitled to a blue rib
bon.
Canvns-bnck ducks nro more cnsily
cooked than the terrapin. Merely heat
the kitchen up to 85 degrees and carry
the bird slowly through. Many persons
claim there is no difference be
tween the cnnvns-back and the red
headed duck. . There is. The simplest
wnv to tell a canvas-back is to look at the
bill of faro , whereon you will bee his
name in largo , full-face typo for $4 , and
many men prefer the red-head , which
only costs $2.50. Jay Gould has for
nineteen years abstained from canvasback -
back ducks and terrapin , and he is now
beyond want.
1 repeat that I will not go duck-shoot
ing until the marguerites blow , the
song of the bulbul is heard in the blos
soming copse , and some other song in
the municipal cops. By that time the
dunks will bo in Alaska or the Fiji
islands , but I have a reckless nature and
do not care. Men who carry a heavy
insurance and are otherwise weary of
life may find relaxation in pampering a
young and industrious case of chill-
blnins , rheumatism and galloping con
sumption , but as long as this present
weather lingers I prefer hunting my
canvas-backs at homo with a gold cer
tificate and a bill of faro.
Dead fish by the thousands are float
ing upon the surface and lining the
shores of Couch Lake , Oregon. It is
supposed that they have been smothered
by the ice excluding air from the water ,
which is very shallow. The same thing
happened three years ago.
Mile. SchaefTer , nn actress from the Paris
Conservatoire , recently refused to appear at
a Itouen theater in tlfihts , Sim did not care
to Houen her reputation , so to speak , and
brought her case before a' court of law. The
court pallantly exempted Mile. Sehacffer
from playing In pieces in which tights are re
quired.
They nro complaining In Now York that in
a Wagner opera ono of ( ho actresses cnmu
twice out of a tomb in which she Is supposed
to bo dead , to bow her acknowledgments to
an audience. What could bo inoro absurd
than such n proceeding ! This whole prac
tice of calling actors to make acknowledg
ment while u play is in pi-ogress is inartistic ,
and ought to be reformed. The objection to
it is that it interferes with the illusion of a
piny tloKtro.ys it indeed and in the illusion
Is ono of the chief charms of acting. In the
earlier clays of the drama in Hoston , at
least aetors were not called before the cur
tain before a play was over , and to ask
acknowledgment of them when the rccna
was on , except at their entrance , would Imvo
been hissed , ns it ought to bo now.
